FEATURED SALES
A portion of all Craft-e-Corner proceeds this October will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, so head on over to Craft-e-Corner and get crafting for a great cause!
Today’s project is brought to us by the talented Helmar designer Katie Nolan Denham! Katie created a beautiful PINK breast cancer inspired journal titled “Inspired Thoughts.”
Here are some notes from Katie herself and how she created this beautiful journal!
“Inspired Thoughts” Mini Journal Instructions:
Mini journals are great to tuck away in a purse. I like to keep one in my purse for random thoughts.
To create my “Inspired Thoughts” mini journal, I simply altered a mini composition book.
These books usually come in packages of 3 for about $1.
I used two complementary pieces of pink paper with Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue to cover the front and back of the book.
Then I trimmed the curved edges with my scissors.
I created a Breast Cancer Awareness bow by cutting one 3″ piece of pink ribbon and curving it. I held the shape of the bow by adding a pink pearl brad. The brad also adheres the bow to the journal.
Using the bow as the “I” for inspired, I then added my journal title; gluing the alphabets down with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

*This might sound weird, but I get my best ideas when I am falling asleep or in the middle of the night*
